The Poco F1 is undeniably a device that can take your smartphone experience to the next level, especially considering the price. The powerful smartphone is a good performer when it comes to gaming, but one issue that worried early Poco F1 buyers is that Asphalt 9 is not supported (via the Play Store) on a majority of devices.

To the delight of these early adopters, Pocophone has been sweating to get the racing game working on the Poco F1. Asphalt 9 can now be downloaded and installed from the Google Play Store on the Poco F1, just like any other app.
Poco's product manager, Jai Mani, tweeted that the issue has been fixed and the fix is coming just in time, ahead of the second sale of the Poco F1, which is scheduled for tomorrow. The F1 received a lot of attention before its commercial availability, which also led to staggering sales. But as users get familiar with the phone, they discover problems, one of which is the intractable lack of support for HD playback on Netflix, Amazon Prime and other (purely) VOD services.

But Poco's response and speed to solve problems is also impressive. It has already rolled out two software updates in less than a week since the initial sale to ensure that users do not find the Poco F1 unfinished. The addition of support for the popular racing game is in line with this development.
